    Listen, the design of them is bad nowadays…

    When it’s finished, there are 5 peeps… Ok, 5!

    When I open the door after peep nr. 1, you could think that the microwave knows, that I’m aware of it having finished… But no… It has to give me 4 more peeps, when the food is already out of it…

      Yep, we got a new microwave and this is the most annoying thing about it, if I want it to stop I just press the cancel button though.

        You look forward to your microwaved popcorn, as suddenly a small chill runs down your spine. “Time is almost up…” You shudder and start running towards the microwave, stepping on the child’s lego and the cat in the process.

        As you enter the kitchen the timer reaches zero, and you know you have failed. 120 beeps are about to commence, separated by two seconds - four minutes. Not even removing the power supply would help as this model has an emergency power supply. In case of loss of power supply it will do what the microwave does best: beep
